Abstract:

Interventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (iMRI) is a growing field that offers several benefits and enhancements in the delivery of care to patients with a wide range of illnesses. In addition to superior anatomical depiction of disease, iMRI yields feedback on the physiologic impact of interventions performed. In addition, the magnetic environment of the MRI scanner can be exploited to facilitate interventions when coupled with the appropriate clinical tools. The topics to be covered include targeted drug delivery, tumor therapies, and remote catheter navigation. It will be shown how iMRI enhances the safety and efficacy of these procedures.
